228i LEASE

Just picked up my 228i 2015. What a car, but what aggravation when my sales person told me AT THE PICKUP....the monthly price for 36 months included a never discussed before, capitalization down payment...which he never mentioned before till I was ready to drive out!! (I never put money down, except sometimes sales tax to bring payment down). Now, having moved to California,this was not done, hence, the tax was included in monthly payment for 36 months... (10K miles year)
Making a long story short, the selling price was $40K with options. The payment originally was $449/month with tax included. Included also was small miscellaneous bull taxes, license plate and registration and the phony acquisition fee. (totalling $1400,,.... put towards an initial 1K deposit. I ended up after a huge shouting and argument, paying the $400 to drive out, ,, and a monthly payment of $520 month.. vs. $449 !!!
Driving home, the car was amazing but I still fill bad and like I was taken for a ride! They could not have done that in NYC and gotten away with it!
How bad was this deal???? Comments appreciated.

Not sure why this was never gone over before you went to pick up the car.

I am buying my car with cash and told my CA that, I am getting a 2015 228i xdrive and I put down $1000 at signing, I will pay the rest $38,000 when I go to pick up my car.

The day I went in to test drive I knew I was buying this car and buying it cash, we sat down and came to the price of $39,306.04

Doc Fee was $75
Sales Tax $3,11.04
DMV Fee $105
Tire Fee $10
Insp Fee $10

The only thing I haven't been charged for yet is my tinted windows which the dealer will have done as soon as my car comes in and is ready to be picked up.

I used to cash to pay for the down payment of $1000 and will use cash to pay for the remainder but everything has already been broken down for me and before I lay down any cash or sign anything I will make sure everything is gone over again.


I don't know about the lease agreements (I don't like leasing my cars, I much rather own my car) but something like this should have been talked about before you went in and was ready to pick up the car.

Well, acquisition would be between 725-925, doc fee 80, tags 400, misc fees whatever... you only put 400 drive off, which means you rolled in the acq. and anything else. I can only go off missing variables and say you probably got $3k off the price of the car (2500 + 500 credit).

Not the worst deal in the world... not the best. Decent for someone who didn't get all their ducks in a row beforehand. I wouldn't sweat it. Next time go elsewhere.

If it had been me, I would have walked. 228s are harder to sell around here than M235s... they would have budged and dropped the price rather than keep a motivated buyer from a car to go elsewhere.
